Children’s zone speed violation is limited to 30 km. Of course, we are also cracking down on illegal parking, so today we are going to learn about fines and penalty points for violations. As of March 25, 2020, as a measure to strengthen traffic safety in child protection zones, if an accident occurs in a school zone, additional punishment will be imposed, so special attention is required.

Pay fines for speeding violations in child protection zones
If you exceed the speed of 20 km or less and impose a fine of 40,000 won, you only have to pay 30,000 won. You can go to the nearest police station and present the fine and driver’s license. Fines and fines are divided according to whether the driver is clear. If you use the advance payment method, you get a 20% discount.
finish
This is how I learned about fines for speed violations in child protection zones. First, the most important thing is that there is no need to check the fines, but if you have to pay the fines, I hope you do not pay them. Please always be aware that the speed limit is 30 km/h in the children’s protection area and drive safely.
